Creamy Grape Salad

If you’ve never tried this dessert it might seem a little strange – but trust me when I tell you that it’s delicious! I had a non-vegan version of this grape salad years ago at a potluck, and I was so excited when I came across this recipe on skinnytaste.com. (Although I’m not sure how “skinny” my version is…)

With a little help from some non-dairy versions of the original ingredients, it was super easy to veganize. If you’re someone who’s wary of grapes in a dessert, I’ll tell you that Ryan was a little scared to taste this. I made him take a bite, and he was totally surprised by how much he liked it. Next thing I knew he’d eaten a whole bowl!

I think this is a perfect summer dessert because it’s really easy to make, it’s not too heavy, and there’s no cooking or baking involved. It’s perfect for potlucks, picnics or barbecues. I also like that it’s a change from your standard sweet treat, at least for me, because I rarely use grapes in desserts.

Hon! (Being from Baltimore originally, I get to call people Hon) The summer has been so stinkin’ miserable here this would qualify as an A-Number-1 non-cook lunch, with the sugar kept to the lower end of the range. And grapes have been on sale here, even, as a bonus. I have never heard of Grape Salad until your post, but this is going into the rotation. What a fabulous find, and my kudos to the chef.
